Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes

If we want the secret of happiness . . ."meekness” is a basic key."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"My wife and I were invited to have lunch with one of the wealthiest men in the world. He was seventy-five years old. Tears came down his cheeks. “I am the most miserable man in the world,” he said. I have everything anyone could ever want. If I want to go anywhere, I have my own yacht or private plane. But down inside I’m miserable and empty.” Shortly after, I met another man who preached in a small church nearby. He was vivacious and full of life, and he told us, “I don’t have a penny to my name, but I’m the happiest man in the world!"
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The Bible lists in Hebrews 11 the heroes of the faith . . .who were tortured, imprisoned, stoned, torn apart, and killed by the sword. They didn’t wear designer jeans but went about in animal skins, destitute and tormented."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"There is no room for God’s Word in our culture, where our children are without reverence for God or faith in the Bible. There is no room for our Lord’s creed of purity and self-denial when the media sends forth a constant barrage of profanity and indecency and materialism."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in your life."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"[The] inability to comprehend fully the mysteries of God does not in any way curtail the Christian faith. On the contrary, it enhances our belief. We do not understand the intricate pattern of the stars in their courses, but we know that He who created them does, and that just as surely as He guides them, He is charting a safe course for us."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The Bible teaches that faith will manifest itself in three ways. It will manifest itself in doctrine—in what you believe. It will manifest itself in worship—your communion with God . . . It will manifest itself in morality—in the way you live and behave."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Christians who are strong in the faith grow as they accept whatever God allows to enter their lives."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"I have never been to the North Pole, and yet I believe there is a North Pole. How do I know? I know because somebody told me. I read about it in a history book, I saw a map in a geography book, and I believe the men who wrote those books. I accept it by faith. The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” [Romans 10:17 KJV]."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Our faith can stand up to any question, but sometimes people ask questions—and keep asking questions—just to avoid facing their own spiritual needs and acknowledging who Jesus really is."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Don’t forget: Without fuel, a fire grows cold—and without the “fuel” of the Bible, prayer, and Christian fellowship, our faith grows cold."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The Bible teaches that faith is the only approach that we have to God. No man has sins forgiven, no man goes to heaven, no man has assurance of peace and happiness, until he has faith in Jesus Christ."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Faith isn’t pretending our problems don’t exist, nor is it simply blind optimism. Faith points us beyond our problems to the hope we have in Christ."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Evangelism is not a calling reserved exclusively for the clergy. I believe one of the greatest priorities of the church today is to mobilize the laity to do the work of evangelism."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Philip is the only person in the Bible who was called an evangelist, and he was a deacon!"
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"He who is called to and set apart for the work of an evangelist is to devote his time and effort single-mindedly to this God-given task. He is not to be distracted by anything likely to deflect him from this. Persecution will not weaken his resolution. The persuasion of others will fall on deaf ears. Only the clear leading of God will cause him to change his ministry."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"No clergyman however brilliant, no evangelist no matter how eloquent or compelling, can bring about the revival we need. Only the Holy Spirit can do this."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The evangelistic ministry is a fight, not a frolic."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The great crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing that counts is what happens in the hearts of the people. The evangelist sows the seed, and much inevitably falls upon stony ground and bears no fruit. But if only a few seeds flourish, the results are manifold."
